ARTIST TRIMPIN has a long history with Conlon Nancarrow's music. He has
realized many of Nancarrow's player piano pieces for various media,
including Dutch wooden shoes.

The background texture that is used in these
pages is a fragment of one of Nancarrow's "Studies for Player Piano" as it
looks when transcribed to a MIDI score. This MIDI score was provided by
Trimpin, who made MIDI transcriptions of all of the "Studies for Player
Piano." Trimpin also created a device that fit over the keyboard of a
standard piano that would play these MIDI transcriptions. Below is a photo
of that device mounted on a piano.
